Decided to stay inside. Really not fond of bugs.
Gloria L.

Beautiful waterfront dining. Spinach is a must. Delicious . Service is nice and friendly.

a boat docked on a dock
Mark H.

The dock overlooking Trading Bay is fantastic on a warm summer or fall day. It's a great place for a drink or a simple meal. The food is decent, but it is the setting, with all the activity of cottage country, that makes it worth coming. In the winter, come to check out those less sane who take their snowmobiles over the open water under the bridge. Many sink to the bottom. As long as it's not your multi-thousand dollar investment sinking to a watery grave; it's a pretty neat spectacle.

Steak with fried onions on top & side of rice.

Again, was not disappointed! Stopped by for lunch with a friend. Ordered the same chicken club on…read moreGF bread since it was so good last time. This time I also tried a salad on the side that was like a vinaigrette slaw made from mainly cauliflower - it was delicious and flavourful. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and said it was excellent! We were able to eat outside which was so nice. We both agreed, we'll be back next time we're in the neighbour.

Cottage Cravings only recently came to Bala after a fire at their original Gravenhurst location…read more last year left them looking for a new space. But I'm so glad they landed in our tiny, sleepy town: CC is about as close as it gets to a one-stop shop here. There aren't a lot of places where you can grab a coffee and sandwich, pick up cheese and charcuterie to take home, or grab wall art or dish towels for the cottage. I appreciate that the products here are so thoughtfully selected as well. Cottage decor can teeter on kitschy, but the selection at CC -- technicolor enameled outdoor dining sets, lake-themed hooked rugs, craftsman birdhouses -- is tasteful as well as fun. Popsicle makers and painted martini glasses give ideas. Food from local vendors means you don't have to wait for next week's farmers market to pick up those jams or condiments. And a bounty of healthful dining options from veggie paninis to fresh soups make a quick, delicious lunch. CC definitely makes a great addition to our little hamlet.

A remarkably great bakery. Be prepared for a wait when you come because this place is popular and…read moreeveryone seems to get at least 17 different things when they are here, with good reason. The baguette was dreamy - light as a feather and sturdy at the same time, the perfect foil for an afternoon steak sandwich. The streudels - oh dear lord, were they heavenly. Don't choose between the ones with cream cheese and the standard fruit varieties, just get both. The butter tarts. Dear HEAVENS the butter tarts. Were they ever incredible. We have two gorgeous pies awaiting a visit to friends tomorrow and more treats for breakfast tomorrow. This is a destination bakery worth traveling for if you are in the Lake of Bays area. You won't find anything fresher with more variety and more delightful than this one. Just don't be impatient: you and everyone else will need loads of time to pick it all out!

This location is the newer of the two locations, and accommodates larger parties than the original Dwight location. Locals and tourists come here for the great selection of bread, sticky buns, cookies, and other baked goods. They also have a great selection of beverages including coffees and teas. We stopped at this Huntsville location on the way home from Algonquin Park as the Dwight location didn't have the pie I wanted. It turns out their apple pie is hugely popular as it was sold out at this store too. Staff were friendly and helpful, and suggested calling ahead or pre-ordering the apple pie as options in the future. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

We liked this place so much we returned the following day…read more The first visit I had a quite good iced chocolate chai. (I'm always excited to find chocolate chai.) The berry scone was amazing as well. I wished the tea place we went to the day before in Gravenhurst (Blue Willow Tea Shop) made their scones as good as this. Farmer's Daughter's scones were sweet and didn't need jam. The chocolate chip cookies were fantastic as well. I liked the husband's edamame avocado bean salad. The son got a pasta combo for $18.99. I really liked his mac and cheese; the pasta salad was fine. I wasn't a fan of his peanut butter chocolate chip cookie (too much pb, not enough choc) The daughter really liked her potatoes dauphinois. Her side of roasted cauliflower, mushrooms, and broccoli were fine, but the pierogies were exceptional. This place drains your wallet little by little. I suggested it because I thought it would make sense to have a cheaper lunch but I'm not sure it was. Especially by the time we got dessert. (But it was worth it!) The next day the husband and I had the lentil wrap - he ordered it the first day and was a fan. It was kind of like Amy's brand of samosas but better and fresh. It definitely grows on you. The daughter was not as into her chicken with cornflake breading. The son got the lasagna but thought the previous day's mac n cheese was better.

Lovely little gourmet grocery store and cafe. We picked up a few very tasty homemade rice krispy…read moretreats, a delicious coffee, and some homemade strawberry plum jam. Service was friendly. If they stayed open a little later they could get a lot more service. I walked in 5 minutes before closing and they locked the door behind me. My husband said 6 or 7 people walked up and were turned away in the 10 minutes I was in. Sandwiches looked good, I wish I could spend more time. Lovely baskets and plants as well.
